cannabinoids have excellent therapeutic potential for the treatment of epilepsy. In the brain, the endocannabinoid system tends to keep neuronal activity wihtin acceptable boundaries.

TRPV1 is part of the transient receptor potential family and is one of the non-GPCR cannabinoid receptors. TRPV1 is involved in thermoregulation and pain detection (nociception).

pparγ is part of the nuclear receptor family and one of the non-GPCR cannabinoid receptors. pparγ is involved in the regulation of fat cells/adipose tissue, insulin sensitivity and inflammation.

Kv1.5 is a potassium channel that is involved in restoring the resting membrane potential after depolarisation. Kv1.5 is not a classic cannabinoid receptor but its activity is modulated by cannabinoids.

CB2 is primarily expressed in the immune cells and tissues of the body. Like CB1, CB2 is a G protein-coupled receptor which inhibits adenylyl cyclase and consequently lowers cAMP upon activation. This, in turn, regulates many second messenger pathways.

Cav3.2 is a calcium channel of the T-type that is involved in many processes in the brain and other tissues. Contrary to other calcium channels Cav3.2 is activated by relatively low/negative voltages.

Cav2.1 is a calcium channel of the P/Q type that is central to many brain processes, including learning and memory. Cav2.1 is not a classic cannabinoid receptor but its activity is modulated by cannabinoids.

Cav1 is a family of calcium channels of the L-type that are involved in many basic signalling processes in brain and muscle. Cav1's are not classic cannabinoid receptors but their activity is modulated by cannabinoids.
